We know that the ratio between length and width is 5/2. To find the width take
15÷5/2 or 15×2/5=6 inches
Check:
15/6=5/2. As a result, the width of the map is 6 inches. Hope it help!

In a doctor's waiting room, there are 14 seats in a row. Eight people are waiting to be seated. There is someone with a very bad

diamong [38]

Answer: 12,972,960

Step-by-step explanation: There are 14 chairs and 8 people to be seated. But among the 8. three will be seated together:

So 5 people and (3) could be considered as 6 entities:

Since the order matters, we have to use permutation:

¹⁴P₆ = (14!)/(14-6)! = 2,162,160, But the family composed of 3 people can permute among them in 3! ways or 6 ways. So the total number of permutation will be ¹⁴P₆ x 3!

2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960 ways.

Another way to solve this problem is as follow:

5 + (3) people are considered (for the time being) as 6 entities:

The 1st has a choice among 14 ways

The 2nd has a choice among 13 ways

The 3rd has a choice among 12 ways

The 4th has a choice among 11 ways

The 5th has a choice among 10 ways

The 6th has a choice among 9ways

So far there are 14x13x12x11x10x9 = 2,162,160 ways

But the 3 (that formed one group) could seat among themselves in 3!

or 6 ways:

Total number of permutation = 2,162,160 x 6 = 12,972,960

What is the most precise name for quadrilateral ABCD with vertices A(–5,2), B(–3, 5),C(4, 5),and D(2, 2)?

bonufazy [111]

Answer: ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we plot these point on a graph as given in attachment.

From the attachment we can observe that AD || BC || x-axis .

also, AB ||CD, that will make ABCD a parallelogram , but to confirm we check the property of parallelogram "diagonals bisect each other" , i.e . "Mid point of both diagonals are equal".

Mid point of AC= $(\dfrac{-5+4}{2},\dfrac{2+5}{2})=(\dfrac{-1}{2},\dfrac{7}{2})$
